Inventory Best Practices

• Closing the library for inventory is no longer recommended
• Discontinue checkout for students ten days before the end of school in order to bring books back
• Continue to allow students and staff to use the resources and checkout for a limited time on a "per need" basis
• Inventory completely during the ten days or continue with "partial" inventory schedule
• If prefered, setup an inventory schedule that allows "sections" of the library to be inventoried during the year
• All sections should be inventoried within a two to three year period
• Materials not seen after two or three years can be deleted from the collection
